Any remap that increases boost pressure will take its toll more quickly on boost affected parts..... I had to replace my IC this month at 85k miles. Using VIDA I can see that the Polestar map makes a LOT of boost.

Why not just fit an uprated IC when one goes? http://www.andysautosport.com/interc...xc90/2005.html
They're in the US, but are available in the UK. |

Don't forget the mandatory red / blue silicon pipework...
Or indeed green |

They do go on unmolested cars too but at least 50k miles later and it's understandable because all Polestar does is increase "things" but you get no uprated pipework. It's like going to the gym and drinking protein shakes but not updating your wardrobe....... your shirts and trousers are going to split.
